Tyrese Gibson, American R&B Singer at the age of 44, finds himself entangled in the emotional aftermath of a painful separation from his wife, Samantha Lee, leaving him in profound ‘pain.’
Samantha initiated divorce proceedings in September 2020, just three years after their secret Valentine’s Day wedding.
Tyrese’s heartache is palpable as he grapples with the unexpected unraveling of their marriage, a union he believed would endure for a lifetime.
In an exclusive conversation with DailyMail.com, Tyrese confesses to his deep desire to remain married to Samantha until they were ‘old and toothless’.
He paints himself as a hopeless romantic, a ‘sucker’ for the sanctity of marriage, and believes that the beauty of love transcends race, nationality, or sexual preference.
The abrupt dissolution of his marriage has left him in a state of emotional turmoil.
In an attempt to process the painful disintegration of their relationship, marred by acrimonious court battles over child support for their four-year-old daughter, Soraya Lee, Tyrese turned to music.
His upcoming double album, “Beautiful Pain,” serves as a reflection of his journey and, he hopes, a ‘divorce deterrent’ for his fans. However, the emotional toll of singing songs about his divorce has caused him to delay the album’s release.
Tyrese recounts his disbelief as he stood in the vocal booth, realizing that these were his lyrics, his songs, and a painful chapter of his life laid bare.
In April, a judge ordered Tyrese to pay nearly $250,000 in back child support to Samantha, along with $400,000 for her attorney fees, further adding to the complexity of their separation.

The album’s second single, “Is This Love or Just a Transaction?” chronicles the couple’s ‘nasty’ courtroom battles, delving into the harsh realities of litigation, finances, and the emotional toll it takes on families.
Tyrese believes that “Beautiful Pain” will resonate with anyone who has experienced a breakup, offering raw vulnerability and sentiments that encourage conversations about love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
As Tyrese reflects on his own journey through heartache and pain, he aspires for his album to serve as a catalyst for introspection and healing in relationships, emphasizing that no one truly wishes to experience the pain of divorce.
Through his music, he seeks to inspire couples to come together, forgive, and rekindle their love, because, ultimately, nobody wants to be left without the warmth of a loving partnership.
